I have a powerful Desktop PC that I build earlier this year. It has an i7-4770k, 16gb RAM, GTX 770, 256gb SSD and a few other HD's for storage. But recently I have been traveling and working on the road (I am a photographer/filmmaker) from my laptop and I don't really ever use my desktop.

I was wondering if it would be possible to turn my desktop into a remote backup server, which I can put my files on from my laptop anywhere I am. Or, if that is impractical, how would I go about turning it into a media server for my family? My home internet upload speeds are slow, but download speeds are decent. so it

I know this may be a dumb question, but I wanted to ask before I sold the computer or left it to collect dust.

Thanks!

Thank you! DropBox is too expensive for me, and I am not really looking for remote use, I just want it to be a server.
